Mr_icecream2 Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Im FC Bayern(2nd) and I'm playing Stuttgart(3rd). They have a man sent off on 63rd minute when 1-1 and they decide to go into a formation that could be considered as a 7-1-1. Has anyone else seen such defensive tactics from a top team? I know a sending off causes problems but I've never seen a team go this defensive! Luckily- 3 late goals gave me a 4-1 win Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

phnompenhandy Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Makes sense. A lot of teams line up something like that even with 11 men. Viz. Man Citeh at Liverpool last week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

crouchaldinho Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 It's not 7-1-1, it's 3-5-1 (or perhaps 5-3-1) in my eyes. Essentially, it doesn't take much imagination to go from what you have posted to this (minus one player, of course): 3-6-1 Formation This uncommon but modern formation obviously focuses in the ball possession in the midfield. In fact, it is very rare to see it as an initial formation, as it is better used to keep results. Its more common variants are 3-4-2-1 or 3-4-3 Diamond, which use two wingbacks. The lone forward must be tactically gifted, because he is not only focused in scoring, but to play back to the goal to assist with back passes to his teammates. Once the team is leading the game, the tactics focuses even more in ball control, short passes and time wasting. On the other hand, when the team is losing, at least one of the playmakers will play more often in the edge of the area to add depth to the attack. Guus Hiddink is one of the few coaches who has used this formation when coaching Australia, in the 2006 FIFA World Cup. You might even call it 5-3-1, with the wingbacks counted as part of the defence, and the DMs as part of the midfield. Incomplete formationsWhen a player is sent-off (after being shown a red card), the teams generally fall back to defensive formations such as 4-4-1 or 5-3-1. Only when a draw is not an option (e.g. in a playoff or knockout match) will a team with ten players play in a risky attacking formation such as 4-3-2 or even 4-2-3. When more than one player is missing from the team the common formations are generally disbanded in favour of either maximum concentration on defence, or maximum concentration on attack. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formation_%28football%29 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
